บท 25: Vengeance Served at Dinner
"Zhao Ding? Were you able to meet him?" excitedly, asked Ling Fan.
"Little Sister, we did meet him however, not directly," said Alchemist Liu."
"Young Miss, the Zhao Clan considers him a secret top expert. So much so, they kept his face hidden," added Yueng He-ping.
"Not only does he talk like a foreigner, but his methods and insights are profound."
"What happened for you two to look like that?" asked Ling Fan.
Before she could answer, Ling Ming said, "Daughter, the seats?"
Reluctantly, Ling Fan said, "We'll discuss later...you two go rest."
They both cupped their hands and left.
Ling Fan smiled. The only words she remembered, were 'secret top expert'.
As Ling Fan's group crossed into the Zhao Clan they were met by Gray Shadow.
Cupping her hands, Gray Shadow said, "Patriarch Ling, Young Miss Ling welcome to our Zhao Clan. Matriarch asked that this one escort you over. May I asked where Sister Qin is?"
"Sister Qin? She's resting...something about a new training program. In fact, she hasn't been thinking straight all day long," replied Ling Fan.
"It must be due to that," sighed Gray Shadow. Turning about, she led them towards the Zhao Clan's main hall."
Skipping to Gray Shadow's side, Ling Fan asked, "That?"
Gray Shadow looked about before whispering, "Sister Qin sucker punched Sister Bai. Youngest Master was greatly angered. Let's just say Sister Qin suffered greatly."
"Does Brother Zhao, like Bai Guang?" asked Ling Fan.
Gray Shadow trembled. "You-You didn't hear that from me."
"Mhm, just us sisters know."
Ling Ming, turned his head and started whistling.
Ling Fan shook her head and cracked her knuckles. Just how many women was Brother Zhao involved with? Wasn't that three older females already? One day, when she became a Martial King, then that would be a good time to give the little boy a beating.
Soon they reached the Main Hall.
Zhao Wen stood welcoming everyone. Beside her was Zhao Tian Cai.
Ling Fan grumbled.
Speak of the little demon himself.
"Senior Zhao, we thank you for inviting us over," said Ling Ming.
Ling Fan hurriedly ran before Zhao Wen and bowed, "Boss!"
Zhao Wen chuckled, "Junior Ming, you and your adorable daughter are always welcome."
Tian Cai cupped his hands, "Patriarch Ling, Sister Ling welcome!"
With an arched eyebrow he gazed at Ling Fan.
It's good you idolize my mother. Isn't she the strongest?
Ling Ming chortled, "Young Zhao, how is your noble self? Your glorious feats are the talk of the town. Senior Zhao, you must be mighty proud?"
Zhao Wen patted Tian Cai's head, "Many claim this seat dotes on him too much."
Ling Ming nodded with understanding. "Isn't natural for a parent to treat their child so?"
Tian Cai and Ling Fan looked at each other. They understood without talking.
Our parents. Yep.
"Heh...Brother Zhao, earlier someone mentioned you have a Guardian Beast named Godkiller? Can it really kill Gods? How big is it? Is it bigger than the sun? Why not bring it out for us to see?" asked Ling Fan.
She smirked.
We'll see how this Godkiller compares to our Junjie.
Seemingly knowing her intention, Tian Cai stiffly replied, "Mhm..Godkiller's in seclusion and won't be making an appearance."
Ling Fan's eyebrows raised at the tone of his voice.
Something's wrong. Should I inquire?
"Cai'er, why don't you show them to their seats. Why not have Ling Fan sit next to you?"
This?
"Mom, Son was planning on sitting next to Big Sis Bai."
"They are our guests and you are almost the same age as Ling Fan. It's your duty as a host to entertain her."
Tian Cai shot a look at Ling Fan.
Humph, I'm 48 little girl. I want to sit next to Big Sis.
Ling Fan returned the look.
Humph, I'm 28 little boy. I want to sit next to Zhao Ding.
After a breath of silence, Tian Cai was about to show them inside when, the Zhao Clan gates exploded open.
The blast rocked the Zhao clan manor foundations. Immediately, Ling Ming shoved Ling Fan behind him. His Martial King aura wrapped around her in protection.
Noticing, Zhao Wen said, "Relax, our Zhao Clan won't allow any of our guests to be harmed. Cai'er watch them well."
"Mhm, responded Tian Cai."
To Ling Ming's surprise, the little boy took a guarding position before them.
This?
Howling smoke billowed in through the opening and 50 men in black rushed in.
Zhao Wen calmly strode forward. "Humph! There's actually five Empyreans. Also 15 Martial Kings with the rest being Martial Masters."
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Zhao Jia and Zhao Chen appeared on her right. Mu Huiqing and Zhao Qiang appeared on her left. Before them, the Five Shadows appeared with Gu Jin, Bai Guang and the Zhao Clan guards.
Upon seeing Bai Guang, Tian Cai grimaced.
Ling Fan peered from behind Ling Ming's leg. If only she had her swords.
Suddenly she jolted. Wasn't Zhao Ding a top expert? Wouldn't he be appearing? Anxiously, she scanned about to identify any heroic person that might be Zhao Ding.
An opening appeared between the intruders and five people strode forward.
One of the five yelled, "Bai Guang, slut! Show yourself. Sixth Heaven's Di Clan has come for you!"
Everybody on the Zhao Clan side jolted in surprise. Ling Fan's face blackened. Di Clan found them and were already knocking down the Zhao Clan's door. Weren't they looking for Sister Qin because of the other day?
Zhao Jia shot a look at Ling Fan.
Ling Fan nodded in understanding.
Boss, Lin Fan won't dare say a thing.
Tian Cai flexed his elbows and cracked his neck.
Somebody's after my Big Sis!?
Zhao Wen looked down and straightened her sleeve. "So you're Di Clan from Sixth Heaven. You really don't know whose door you just knocked down?"
"Woman shut your mouth! We're asking the questions. Someone killed our Captain's younger brother. Bai Guang is the last known person Master Di Feng talked too."
Bai Guang looked to Zhao Wen, "Master, Disciple has never met this Di Feng."
Zhao Jia whispered in Zhao Wen's ear. The later nodded. "Granddaughter understands."
The man in the center motioned with his finger. "Your Bai Guang? Willingly leave with us now and this seat guarantees the rest can live."
Scoffing, Zhao Wen, "So whose son are you...Di Tian..Di Mao...Di Bing?"
The captain stiffened, "Just who are you? You know my father Di Mao?"
"So it's Di Mao. If I remember correctly, he's a dog coward and never keeps his promises. Also, isn't your Di Clan notorious for not leaving anyone alive? Tell this seat your name, so that I can properly send your shortie back to Di Mao."
All the men, on the Zhao Clan side, shifted unconsciously.
One of the five Empyreans whispered, "They know Di Mao and our noble uncles. Maybe we should ask who they are?"
Zhao Wen asked, "In-law, can you seal the area?"
Nodding Mu Huizhong said, "Noble Brother-in-law's enemies can only leave as meat paste. A sealing formation was activated as soon as they all entered. Only a Grand Empyrean can escape."
"My illustrious Captain is Di Bao, we are Di Clan's Death Swords. It's your fortune to die on our blades."
Zhao Jia snorted, "Enough talking, this Granny's wants to drink wine."
Zhao Chen pulled out a halberd. "Those who interrupt my Mother's drinking..die."
Zhao Qiang chortled fanatically, his Martial King aura erupted, "Humph! A mere 15 Martial Kings. This King will fight you all."
Zhao Wen asked, "Are any of you related to Di Tian?"
Two Martial King's stepped forward.
"You know our honorable Grandfather?"
Zhao Wen snorted, "Humph! Your Grandfather killed my noble husband."
Fat Shadow's eyes inverted, "Your Di Long killed my wife as well!"
The two Martial Kings looked at each other.
Who were these people?
Di Bao's eyes narrowed, increasingly he was getting a bad feeling.
Whispering, he asked, "Earlier you said this manor belonged to who?"
"Lord, Savant City's Zhao Clan."
"We don't have any enmity with any Zhao Clan in Third Heaven. The only Zhao Clan we have..."
Di Bao's eyes shot up in alarm. Pointing, he said, "You're Sixth Heaven's Zhao Clan!?"
Chuckling, Zhao Jia strode out and pulled out the Heavenly Punishing Sword. Like an incandescent blue torch, it lit up into the sky. "Young soon-to-be-dead man, this seat is the Blue Flame Empyrean Zhao Jia. Your Father should remember, I burned off his arm while killing his father."
Zhao Wen pulled out her Blazing Sun Sword, striding forward. "Che! This seat will end Di Tian's line.
Zhao Chen's halberd ignited, "Mother, Son will serve you heads as an appetizer."
Zhao Qiang put on his heavy gloves, his muscles bulged along with his Martial King aura.
Pointing, he yelled, "All your strongest Kings...Stand out!"
Fat Shadow yelled, "Children, watch well as Father avenges your mother!"
Bai Guang put on her red scaled gloves and they burst into flickering flame.
"You dare slander this Bai!
Swoosh!
Qin Rong appeared behind Zhao Qiang. "Master, Disciple is here!"
Zhao Qiang chortled, "Disciple..Little Bai, the Divinities aren't blind. Before you stand the men who killed your parents!!"
Qin Rong slammed her metal gloves together and her sleeves exploded as muscles rippled out of her forearms. Eyes flashing red she screamed, "All you bastards DIEEEEEEEE!"
Bai Guang's eyes inverted and hair turned white.
"You killed my beloved mother! DIEEEEEE!"
Weng! Weng! Ohm! Ohm!
Weapons were drawn and martial auras exploded in all the directions. The Zhao Clan guards chanting the Zhao Clan's Death Chant by rote.
'My blood is that of the Ancients
From across the stars we come....'
Veins started popping across Tian Cai's face. They killed Big Sis's parents!!
Mu Huizhong stood before Tian Cai. "In-law, Huiqing will protect Noble Brother-in-law with her life!"
Ling Ming patted Ling Fan's head. "Fan'er, Father loves you. He can't stand idle and not fight."
Ling Fan stiffened, "Father!"
"How can it be? Zhao Clan is our Di Clan's greatest enemy. Everyone, we fight to the death!!" exclaimed Di Bao.
Suddenly as the battle was about to erupt an explosion blasted a hole in the sky.
Outside the City, Shensheng and Junjie had just finished eating food stolen from a good restaurant they recently found. In fact, they spent the last few days stealing delectable foods from all over the city. So much so, the City Guards were getting ready to post wanted signs asking for information on the two thieves.
Upon hearing the explosion, Shensheng looked up in shock.
Junjie snorted.
"Junjie, it's Progenitor's Big Brother!"
